As the title track, how well does Where Does This Door Go capture the experimental spirit of the entire record?

Where Does This Door Go (Deluxe Edition) by Mayer Hawthorne · ZERO SKIPS

@harlanworld does this album read experimental given his others? That's not really the word that came to mind while listening to this track, but I don't have anything to compare it to in his catalogue. In any event, this might be my favorite track. The instrumentation, the textures, the patience. It feels so emotive and cinematic.

After the third spin I can kind of see where this question is coming from. Where Does This Door Go is definitely way different from the rest of the album. The way the rhythm moves, the song structure, the wholly organic soundscape. The chorus gives me goosebumps with the strings, the harp, the repeating vocal melody of "I haven't been through". What a song.

@Jangles sorry I didn't get to your comments sooner on this one. You know I love some Hall & Oates, Huey Lewis, sensibilities in melody hahahaha. Glad you gave that record a chance and enjoyed the listen.
